It seems that the *.mid file which is containing the data is not read at all because the attribute table is empty (the individual fields are there).

Hi Wolfgang,

Normally I would advice you to create an issue for this on
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues
and attach a dataset with it, so other can confirm this is a QGIS issue (and not a mapinfo issue)

But to have a quick-fix, you could install an older (for you working) version of QGIS next to 3.22?
Another idea, if it is not too much data, ask others to convert your mapinfo files to geopackages or so? So you at least have the data?

(but please after you finished your project also create an issue (with dataset and expected outcome etc etc) so somebody can investigate.

REgards,
